NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVIII The letter was lving in the same spot where Mrs. King put all his mail--on the little table beside the telephone. “From Sis,” he murmured, at sight of Janet's familiar handwriting. “Wonder how everything.is at home.” And then he frowned. “They're not satisfied with trying to ‘bother me,” ‘he: growled. “They're worrying the folks back home.” @ For out of Janet's letter had fallen ‘@ single sheet of-paper. It was writ- ten in the same scrawl that had char- acterized the two anonymous notes he had received, ordering him to leave town, And it very briefly, but in plain language and with ion, stated that if Jimm \ Grafton. That was all. “I haven't the faintest idea,” Janet wrote, “what it’s all about. Jimmy, you are concealing things from mother and me? The envelope was addressed to mother, but she hap- pened to be lying down when it came and, without giving it much thought, 1 opened it. “I haven’t shown it to her, because she worries enough about: you as-it is. But Jimmy, I'm afraid. 1 wanted you to go in the first place, but I can’t bear to think of you there with this unnamed danger hanging over you. Do you know what it is? If you do, please tell me. If anything happened to uu Mother and I would never get over it and I'd never forgive myself for urging you to go to Mansfield. I've told Barry Colvin about it. He still comes to see us nearly every evening and I think he’s ah old dear. He’s alarmed about and he say: he's going after you if you don’ come back.” 4 There was more, but it dealt with family gossip and the state of Mrs, Rand’s health. The recurrence of the anonymous warning ‘had Jimmy thoroughly en- raged. What had at first amounted to nothing more=than an annoyance wus now beginning to get on his nerves. He picked up his empty pipe and stuck it savagely in his mouth *** * It was not that he feared any- he told himself, for, he asked, ‘one really contemplated harm to him why would there be any warn- ing. But it was the.thought of this unknown person eternally keeping watch over him and his affairs. know- ing his every movement, * * * * He lay in bed for # long time, curs- ing himself for his inability to ‘ban: the thing from his mind and go to sleep. “Good morning Mr. Hilton,” and at the cheery note in Marv Lowell's greeting the chief clerk of the Q. and R. railroad looked up in some sur- prise. + “Good morning, Miss Lowell. I, He stopped, and rubbed ‘his r, Hilton?” ” he said, and bent over his desk. * * * She had told her mother that morning—told her with definiteness and firmness—that she had broken with Samuel Church. It was no use, she had insisted when her mother had protested and, later, had cried. She didn’t love him and never would. She hated ‘him. She told of the incident of the dog ‘and the little boy as if such » thing against any man were enough to damn him foreve' “He thinks, M r, that his money can buy anything. thought he could buy me with it, just as he thought he could buy the boy a new dog. ‘And she had put on her hat and rushed off to work, feeling strangely light and free. * * * * Shortly before noon Church came in the office, pulling pavers out of his pocket, and imm itely went into a conférence with Hilton. - But hy and Mary sensed, wi of Hilton’s inner office, that was only a pretext to see her. “Mary,” he said, leaning over her desk, “you've had: time to. think it over now. Tell me that you didn’t meap what fou said.to me yesterday.” Her fingers never once paused as they ‘flew over. her typewriter. “I meant it,” she said shortly. “Mary, you couldn't. You don realize what you're saying. | Liste: I was angry when that happened; 80 ener that I didn't eve: see the dog uhtil it-was too late. I self.

Finally i osity got the better of him. mean you-you broke off with h “Yes—yesterday.” e At that he stuck his hands in“his! ockets and whistled some more. ‘inally che’ said—and Mr. Hilton could be very amusing when he tried —“You see, Miss Lowell, I was get- ting all set to congratulate you. Now I congratulate you all the more.” With which eni jc statement he il saad out of the room, still whist- ing. , you that?” asked The only thing that worried Mary about breaking her engagement was her mother. Mrs. Lowell, with ‘her fondness for the ‘material comforts and her niemories of a luxurious past, had found much to enthuse over when Mary told her she had accept- ed Samuel Church. It would be a blow to her, of course Mary knew that her mother had already instajled herself, men- tally, in a fine Home, with servants to carry out her orders and a motor car to take her wherever and when- ever she wanted to go. Now that dream was ended and Mrs. Lowell | would have to try to reconcile her- solf to existing on the necessities with very few of the luxuries she craved. Mary walked from her office to the water cooler, and while drinking she noticed the man known as Mac, sitting at his desk. A sudden reso- lution prompted her to walk straight over to him. c Mae” she said, “you remember nd who worked here?” ‘Why, yes.” What was ‘that you told him | about money being able to buy any- thing?” His face reddened. “Why, why—” he floundered. “You were wrong,” she said softly, and walked away, feeling a sudden -|pity for this tragic, war-torn boy. True to promise, Church dropped in ‘again late in the after- noon. He didn’t even make a pre- tense of seeing Hilton but went to Mary directly. “I've got the car outside, Let me drive you home.” He bunch of flowers in his hand. “What's the good of it?” she asked wearily. “It’s no. use. I've quite made up my mind.” “Mary, yeu spoke in the heat of anger. We all do and say things we are sorry for when we are mad.” “But I have had plenty of time to cool off. No, it’s no use. You'll have to excuse me.” She turned to the Mary. had # “Mary, gi me another chance. You haven't gifen me chance all. 1 tell you “Mr, Church,’ through. Do I make myself clear?” - “Here, .

Then the marched out of the office. . In the street below he jostled his way heediessly through the crowd, chewing viciously on a cigar that he had stuck in mouth.

THE ADVENTURE STARTS When | learned the price of rooms at the hotel to which the travelers’ aid bad. sent me, I was filled with consternation. But, nothing daunted, I decided it would be best for me to stay, where I was for the night at least. After I had taken a bath and pre- pared myself for dinner, I feit better and decided that I’d go to some restaurant for my dinner even if 1 were alone. I would not go back on all my brave resolutions. I would "| give this thing that I had started on a good chance. I would see for my- self if a kirl could get along alone in a big city ¢s Well as a man. However, it was with great trepi- dation that I entered one of the larg- est restaurants in town and, as I Jearned afterwards, the most expen- ‘sive. As I looked over the menu, I real- ized for the first time that two hun- dred and fifty dollars meant very lit- tle to begin my workaday life upon and I began to be very apprehensive. The price of my room at the hotel and for the most modest little meal on this card, would leave me the next morning with more than ten dollars gone out of my precious two hundred and fifty. ‘Why, hello there, Hickydoo cried Jupe. “I didn’t see you.” “I just came,” said Hickydoo. “I was over on the other side of the world when I heard you speak my name. So I came at once.” “But how did you get here so quickly?” asked Nick. “It takes Daddy a whole day to go to New York.” “TS came by wireless,” was all Hickydoo would say. “What were you talking about me for?” “We want advice,” said Jupe. “These children came to the Lund of the Blue Cherry to find the blue cherry.
